Tuesday, July 9, 2002 the batt*| Raging fires in Quebec send smoke (AP)—Firefighters used sprinklers and firebreaks to try to tame dozens of forest fires in northern Quebec that have sent smoke as far south as Washington, D.C. — and led to health advisories in three U.S. states. At least 85 fires — nine of them out of control — burned Monday, the Quebec forest fire protection service said. They have destroyed more than 250,000 acres of forest. Smoke had been blowing south, prompting advisories in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but a wind shift overnight caused it to head east toward Canada’s Atlantic provinces, said spokeswoman Charlotte Leger. Smoke blanketed Montreal, , haze south leaving a film of smoke particles on cars throughout the city. The city’s public health authority warned senior citizens, children and people with respiratory problems to remain inside. Sparked by lightning and dry conditions, the fires have been burning since July 2 in two sep arate regions southeast of James Bay between 200 and 400 miles north of the U.S.-Canada border. More than 500 firefighters — some in planes dropping water — worked to control 45 fires in a region above Lake St. Jean about 150 miles north of Quebec City, fire protection service spokesman Eric Santerre said. “For part of them we are doing nothing for now because they are too big,” Santerre said. “These are really big fires.” Trailer Continued from page 1 The 12th Man Foundation was approached with the idea for the trailer by Bates Southwest, a Houston advertis ing firm that handled the Foundation’s commercials last year that featured Miss USA Candace Krueger.

This is just the first phase in our strategic goal to make A&M the number one pro gram Texans identify with.” Along with the trailers, the Foundation will have “coming attraction” style posters posted in the theaters along with kiosks in the lobby that will contain football schedule cards, posters and other types of things. While the commercial repre sents half of the Foundation’s marketing budget, it is not the only new concept it is initiating. The Foundation has also introduced “12th Vans” which are minivans featuring paint ings of “Red, White and Blue Out,” along with current A&M running back Derek Farmer.
